Do It Now.

Don't live single hour of your life without doing exactly what is to be done in it, and going straight through It from beginning to end. Work, play, study, whatever it is, take hold at once and finish it up, sQuarely and clcanly; then to the next thing, without letting any moments drop between. It is wonderful how many hours these people centrive to make of a day; it is as if they picked up the mo- ments the drawlers lost. Aud if you ever find yourself where you have so many things pressing up- on you you hardly know where to begin, let me tell you a secret: Take hold of the first one that comes to hand and you will find that the rest all fall into file and follow after, like company of we'll drilled soldiers; and though work may be hard to meet when it charges m a squad, it is easily vanquished if you can bring it into line. You have often seen the man who was asked how he had accomplished so much in his life. "My father taught me" was the reply, "when had anything to do, to go and do it." This is the se- cret, the magic word"now.'

THE ANGEL VISION.

''Chisel in hand stood sculptor boy,
 With his marble block before him, And his face lit 1p wi.h smile of joy
 As an angel dream passed OCT him. He carved it then on the yielding stone,
 With many n sharp incision. With heavens own light the sculptor shone
 He had caught the angel vision 'Sculptors of life are we as we stand
 With our souls uncarved before us, Waiting the hour, when at Gods command, Our life's dream shall pass OCT us, If we carve it then on the yielding stone,
 With many sharp incision, Its heavenly beauty shall be our own, Our lives that angel vision"

BY HELEN W. CLARK.

 pails of milk she had carried up from the COW yard, and turned her blooming face towards the bluff farmer, who stood, whip in hand his homespun overalls tucked in his boots.
 ''Good evening, MT. Toser; como in and have a chair" she returned, cordially.
 (Which ways yer Uncle JohnF' he inquired, accepting the chair Dolly placed for him.
 "Uncle Johns gone to the city," answered Dolly, bringing crooks from the pantry Tn which to strain the milk.
 "When's he comini hOme"
 "Not for two or three days. He and Rob took up a drove of sheep to sell. Did you wish to see him particularly, MT. Toser!"
 "Wal, yes. You see I've got $500 l was goin' to pay him fur some beef cattle l bought. But seein' he's gone l mont as well turn it over to you, and you can sign for 1t and put it away"
 Dolly received the money and signed the receipt, as she had tre- quently done in similar cases, when her uncle was away. For Dolly was Uncle Johns "business man," as he often told her, and knew more of his affairs than even Aunt Cath arine.
 "Take good keer of it, Miss Dol ly, there's talk of robbers around, and one or two houses has been broken in,' said farmer Toser.
 Robbers! And here was five hundred dollars in the house, and only three women to guard it! Two, you might say, for helples Aunt Catharine would be only a burden in case of trouble.
 "But Susan is as stout as a man, and plucky, too," thought Dolly. "And I won't say anything to Aunt about the money or the rob- bers, either."
 After locking up the money she hurried down to Susan Bowers; who was doing the chores at the barn.
 II sayv cried Susan, when Dol. ly had explained the situation. "Robbers! I sh'd think they was. Why Jo Tilson says they broke in Canady's house night before last, and took all the money they could get, and Miss Canady's old tea pot,  that was her gramma's. l didn't tell yc before, fer fear ye'd be skeered.'
 Susan's revelation increased Dol ly's anxiety.
 "Don't say word to Aunt, and l want you to sleep in my room to- night. and we'll take the old shot gun with us. You know how to load, don't youw
 "Yes. If l had dollar for ev- cry time I've loaded a gun would not he working for wages. But l have got little money saved up and hid in my bureau drawer. l wouldn't like to lose it, either, l ken tell you"
 "Well, Susan, you come to my room and bring the shot gun after Aunt goes to bed. We mnsn't let her know"
 "'Course not. reckon she'd have d fit if she heard there was robbers around," said Susan.
 "Dolly,' whispered Aunt Cath arine, coming out on the back porch as the two girls reached the house, "there's poor woman in the kitchen and I gave her the cold vittles and cup of coffee. reck- on we could make her bed on the kitchen floor tonight. She said she was a poor, lone woman, and hadn't no place to stay"
 Dolly and Susan exchanged a glance. But then a woman would

Goodbye to dreams, for the time has come That comes to every heart, When hear the roll of life's battle-drum, And must bravely act my part. Like wavering mists the shadows roll
 From the future dim and gray, And welcoming meet with dauntless soul The limitless, glad to-day. There is never good so vast, so grand,
 That may not make 1t mine. God aids the blow of the honest hand,
 And we strive with a strength divine. What man has done, that can do,
 If only dare begin. There are heroes now. as when earth was new, And as royal crowns to win. Though jagged and fierce the peaks that rise Against the drowning sky. I can measure their height with unfaltering

 I shall scale them by and by. And the gulfs that yawn in my onward course, Digged deep for unwary feet, When once I have crossed, with resistless

and it was too tame to be chased; and as Bic was looking for the second stake, it spied the turtle. and with all the curiosity of the four-legged, put it's head down to smell SO unusual sight. At that instant Bic glanced toward it. and uttering an uproarous war-wh oop ran up to the calf and bestowed upon it a lusty kick.
 The calf fled, and it's nose was saved; but the kick brought the back breadth of BJe's blouse against the leg he stood on with such force that the leg lost its footing, and Bic was thrown, a confused heap. into the face and eyes of the turtle. In falling Inc had forgotten that interesting reptile, and lay for a moment nursing the con- viction that all his bones were broken and himself unconscious, when the turtle snapped it's teeth together in the flesh of his favorite thigh. His first mortified impression was that the creat- ure had bitten clear through him in five or six directions, but really it had taken only one bite, and that was not so deep as it was lasting
 As Bic rose, the turtles weight tore its teeth out of his tender flesh, but fl maintained its hold in the firm stuff of his trousers and blouse, and Bije. after one look down at the monster dangling at his side, lifted up the opposite side of the skirt of his garment and dashed off toward home, shrieking at every bound.
 His mother, returning from her berry-picking, came out when she heard him, and staying him in his mad career, unbuttoned his blouse and trousers and slipped them down and of; and Bic watched her while she carried them to the swill barrel and lowered the turtle into its depths. Feeling itself in its 'native clement" it let go its hold, and began forthwith to fatten for Bije's birthday dinner Isabel FreelG'sd, ig Harper's Young People.

 Street jackets are very short.
 Very long sticks characterize the new parasols.
 In glassware for the table there are many new and pretty things. especial ly in Bohemian berry and fruit dishes.
 The double chain divides favor among men with the fancy vest chain. Many are showing preference for the red gold chains.
 Travelling ulsters for the girl of the period are of the thinnest cloth and made to fit as if they were never in- tended to be taken of.
 An imported tennis hat for women is of light leather, embossed on one side and on the brim with symbols of the fashionable game.
 In silverware the forms continue for the most part low. The bright finish may be said to be the popular one, while old English and Louis XIV. forms prevail to a great extent. The futed pattern is in favor. In plate ware the same forms and styles of dec oration are offered as are seen in the sterling ware.

A SELECT AFFAIR.


l A Jolly Good Time at ''Carpet-Rag Social"
 Their names were Lottie, Belle and Mary, three as jolly. fun-loving, good natured little lassies as one often meets.
 They were thrown into fever of ex- citement one evening upon receiving an invitation for the following after noon from Mrs. H., one of their near neighbors, and with whom they were especial favorites, to earpetrag so- cial.
 It was to be very select affair, ex- tremely so, as no one but they three had been honpred with an invitation
 At the appointed hour they were on hand, with faces as bright and clean as soap and water could make them.
 They were soon busy with their needles, chatting and laughing with their hostess, and as happy as queens, or as queens are supposed to be.
 They confded to Mrs. H. all their future hopes and aspirations. all their present troubles and difficulties.
 Lottie gravely informed her ''how she hoped to make enough from her strawberry bed (she had about half a dozen vines which had already yielded her one berry,, to purchase real gold ring, with a stone in the top, just like her teachers"
 Belle intended ito study very hard until she was as old as May Freeman Gone of the high school scholars), and then her ambition was to teach school. But first she would have to understand Glgeberry and .fzzleoIogH cause M ay did,"
 May was to her little mind a prodigy of wisdom and learning
 Mary, the youngest of the trio. did not seem to have many future hopes and aspirations; all she cared for was ''to have good time," and she gen. orally had it, too.
 After they had each sewed ball about the size of small apple, Belle quite emphatically signified her opinion that they had worked long enough. and that it was time to play" The rest of the invited guests seemed to be of the same opinion, so the rags were quickly put out of sight.
 They soon had on their hats, aud, taking Black Jack, the faithful watch dog, and Tabithy Longelaws Tiddly- wink, the pet kitten. they started for the barn for frolic, Mrs H., of course. accompanying them.
 First they played "Kittie wants a corner" and as Mrs. H. was some- what given to enp6onpoist, and could not run as fast as the little folks, she was generally the poor pussy in want of corner.
 This pleased Belle so that she almost went into fits laughing, and even Black Jack and Tabithy Longclaws Tiddly- wink parked and mewed with merri- ment at the sight of their usually staid and scdate mistress up to such frolcs.
 Then they played at hide-and-seek and black man until tea time. When that was served it was time for the children to go home. Mrs. H. Black Jack and Tabithy Londclaws Tiddlywink accompanied their little visitors as far as the river bridge and then bade them goodnight.
 It took the three little damsels all the next week to tell their Aunt Abbie of all the fun they crowded in that one afternoon at Mrs. H-'s ''Carpet-rag social.' - Mrs. 4 S. KnoUlton, in Toledo Blade.

 "Then," thundered Lord Jenkins, 'take him, and take also my curser'
